The Necessary Condition To Have Karlach’s Actor In A Disco Elysium Successor Title

Samantha Béart is a talented actor who has won a BAFTA nomination for the portrayal of the beloved character Karlach in Baldur's Gate 3. Reasonably, following the growing fame comes some casting requests from studios who hope to have her in their projects. 

One of them is obviously from one studio that is working on a “spiritual successor” to Disco Elysium, a successful RPG created by ZA/UM studio, which has been going through some drama that is even more dramatic than those we watch on the TV screen. 

The communication with the studio didn’t seem to end well, so Béart took to social media to make her stance clear that she would not participate in any Disco Elysium “spiritual successor” projects unless the creator, Robert Kurvitz, was involved. Otherwise, it would just be a waste of time for both parties. 

It’s unclear which studio contacted her, as three new studios formed by former Disco Elysium developers have almost simultaneously announced that they are working on such a title.

But it doesn’t even matter that much, as none of the three studios currently has Kurvitz with them. The Game Director, along with Disco Elysium’s Art Director Aleksander Rostov and writer Helen Hindpere, launched a new studio called Red Info after they left ZA/UM in “an involuntary manner.” While the new studio hasn’t officially announced its current project, they have filed a copyright claim for a title called Corinthians.
